This was such an incredible play- they used a lot of the most famous songs within the movie Fantastic dancing, singing and use of the stage! The Ambassador theater was very clean & all staff was so friendly & informative. I would definitely recommend a night out to see CHICAGO! ( we watched the movie right after as well) such a great one! All around fantastic !!

One of my dream..... Chicago... the musical... Live in NY️️️ OMG! The best!

Come and visit the showEven after so many years it’s still fresh, funny and perfectly arranged.You can feel that all artists and singers are enjoying ...

Chicago was amazing I saw it just before they closed doors. What a classic. Hope the open door was soon as possible. Got my ticket from Broadway last minute center. Good prices and service.

Loved the show.Tiny old theater with beautiful chandelier.Not many bathrooms, even men’s bathroom has a long wait.Show was great. I went for special edition of Ryoko Yonekura, Japanese actor. I would love to come back for the show.

Its a amazing musical. The show, story and music are perfect in harmony. We are sitting in the front of the stage. You can laugh really good by this awesome story.

An amazing show! Very entertaining and kept me captured. I even cried once or twice. It was really easy to follow and upbeat almost the whole time. Even though the end was a bit confusing, the show still blew me out of the water. Id recommend seeing it, though maybe not with younger kids.

Ok, so I don’t have photos, they not allowed during the show, obviously. But I can assure you it was AMAZING!!!! I was not disappointed. Just a note that I got the best tickets at the ticket box the day before.

Great show with live music and the orchestra playing on stage. The interaction with the comedians is great and add a value I really appreciated. The story is well known so not much a surprise there but all the comedians are talented and you enjoy every minute.

Such an amazing show! Classic Broadway, great orchestra, an amazing cast! A must watch. Dont know if it always worked but we got Sunday afternoon tickets for Mezzanine and got upgraded to right next to the stage

One of my favorite musicals! The actors are so vibrant and enthusiastic! Chicago is a classic everyone should watch! Absolutely loved it!

Long-running musical. Entertaining, but just average. You can often get discounted (half-price) tickets on the day.

Old historic theater. Good acoustics. Nice helpful people directing people to there seat. I could not fit in my seat since ht 6foot3inches and 295 lbs. They found a seat I could fit in plus better location. Would definitely recommend the theater and musical. CHICAGO. Gordon Marks

This show was one of the best I’ve seen in years. There was not a dull moment. It was funny, thoughtful, and elating. The dancing was even better than I anticipated. I remember seeing the commercials on TV almost 15 years ago - no disappointment in this show.

Living in NYC I see at least a dozen Broadway shows a year. I saw Chicago for the first time about 20 years ago and loved it. I’ve been dying to go back for years now. I was excited to take my daughter to see it for the first time tonight. She loves musical theater and is familiar with much of the music from Chicago. There are several iconic songs that are classic Broadway and are always memorable. What a disappointment this current production was! I’ve seen better dinner theater. The theater itself is old and cramped. Many NYC theaters are. I can deal with it for a great show, but not this. The orchestra which was on stage and somewhat involved in the show, was great. But it took up the majority of the stage. Maybe that’s why they put nothing into creating a real set. The two main actresses are clearly talented but too old for the parts they played, making it very unconvincing. Both Roxy and Velma look like grandmothers. Hot bodied grandmas but still not young enough for these roles. I actually found all the performances lackluster and flat, the acting, the singing, and the dancing which I remember standing out in the earlier production. I’m not sure if it was the sound system or the lack of energy but I felt like I was watching a movie at home with the volume too low or no surround sound. Lack of energy (and effort) really sums up this production. The waiter singing “Mr. Cellophane man” at Ellens Stardust Diner was more entertaining than the rendition in the show. The stage was constantly black... costumes, props, set... in never changed with the exception of a ladder swinging out once in a while. The costumes looked more like stripper wear than sexy 1920s. If you weren’t familiar with the plot you probably wouldn’t have even known when or where it was set. Other than throwing on a blazer there were no costume changes. Lazy, lazy, or just low budget? I still can’t believe how much I paid for this mediocrity and that’s with a discounted ticket. This show has seen it’s day. Save your money. Hopefully it will close and somewhere down the road someone will properly revive it to its former glory.

I’ll be honest: this play was much more about seeing a significant part of broadway history than seeing the content. Set your expectations low because you will not be thrilled or captivated by this show. Erika Jayne was especially lackluster. The stage was completely boring. It’s time to let this show die for a while and revive it with an updated stage, outfits and dance numbers.

An amazing show and full of dance and singing. Never a dull moment.Beware - snacks and drinks are expensive

This show is not worth it. I saw a community theater performance that far out rated this Broadway version. Very disappointed. Actors are too old and have no energy. The band is great but everything else sub par. Dancing very basic same few steps. Very poorly designed staging if I hadnt known the story I wouldnt have been able to follow it. Seats are agony and Im only 53. Book something else.

Absolutely the worst show! Save your money theater has a tiny stage and the orchestra takes up most of it! Actors too old no change in wardrobe or props but then again there was no room for them on the stage to begin with. This was not at all like the movie! Big let down and seats empty out during intermission. We actually left 30 before it ended! We had amazing seats that cost over $600 so this was a big disappointment.

Really didnt enjoy the show in terms of trying to follow it. So sets on stage or anything! Hard to follow due to the fact there was no set back ground or uniform change. Women were barely dressed, no class. No hint of the 1920s era. And it was ridiculous how much they charged for water $6! Dont waste your money here.

Still love the music and story. Always will. This cast is ancient and should retire. I want my money back. This felt very off Broadway. Ruined the whole thing. Roxy isnt 60.

Just in NY. Saw 6 shows. Chicago was good but not one of our favorites. Theatre was nice. We had very good seats.

Great show! Erika Jayne was a great addition to this show.

Just spent the last few days in New York City to see some of the worlds most popular broadway shows. First Hamilton, followed by Wicked. Both absolutely mind blowing, spectacular musicals. Next came Chicago... my anticipation and excitement for this show was through the roof because of the amazing shows I had seen the days prior. To my surprise, it was the biggest let down I could have possibly experienced. It was just so boring! I am a fan of the movie of course, excellent music and dancing and colors and costumes! The play does not give you any of those things! It doesn’t put you into the story at all, it doesn’t feel like the 1920s, and the lack of energy was quite possibly the worst part about the entire experience. The actors would STAND AROUND and sing with mediocrity. When there would be dancing, it was the same move over and over again. Definitely have to do your research before seeing these shows!

Watched it for 2nd time. First time was with cousins, but this time was with my mom. I actually enjoyed the show due to the extreme creativity of using the orchestra to be set up in a way that theyre centered to have the set be set up around them and using the orchestra as part of a jazz club set. Even my mom enjoyed it so much, and shes usually against watching something that involves stories shes not all too familiar with.

Nice show.Both the actors and the orchestra perform quite well.

Small lobby and not enough bathrooms. Which I guess is pretty normal for an old theater. Classic old theater with beautiful chandelier. Chicago wasnt my favorite musical. I left with the feeling of something missing. Took me a couple days to put my finger on it but I think it was the lack of set. The set is very simple with orchestra on the stage. I prefer a more elaborate set.

Nice performance. Nice dancers and singers. I kinda guessed how the story would end. It’s interesting to see the entire band sitting on the stage.

Worth all your cents. Fabulous show. So much talent.

Show was good and orchestra was amazing! Seats are more cramped than an airplane. Bathroom and concession lines are long and create an FDNY hazard during intermission

This was not good. The band was great but it was so loud neither of us could make out half the words! The actors (with the exception of Roxie) were only okay, but the whole thing felt low energy. I feel like this was a waste of money.

Great musical! Super entertaining. Performance was spot on. Staff were very nice. Small ladies room, get in line quickly.

I have enjoyed the musical very much. It was funny and enjoying. The theater is beautiful. But the chairs werent comfortable.

A broadway classic, great music, very good actors. I went there with a friend and we enjoyed it a lot. The theater is quite small but it didnt bother me at all. The snacks and the drinks you can buy inside are expensive. There is wine available.

Theater staff, Chicago actors, ushers and my seats were great. Not a bad seat at orchestra level. Not one. Best dancers on Broadway.

5 stars for this show is not enough. Besides Scar in The Lion King my dream role is Amos in this show. Loved watching it and learning from the best.

We paid almost $500 for 2 tickets to see Chicago. This was our 1st time in NYC so we didn’t have any preconceived notions of what to expect in a Broadway show. We left this one at intermission because it was so bad! Very boring, my wife nor I either enjoyed it at all. After seeing Wicked and The Lion King we really saw how horrible Chicago was. It’s a lot of money to spend and leave early because the storyline was just so boring.

Fantastic time. Sometimes serious but always make me laugh

I had an amazing time at the show! The show was scheduled to start at 7 and I arrived at 6:15 to pickup my tickets from the theater and stand in line. It was a smooth experience as they had staff at all points to help you locate your seat and to keep the line moving in the restroom moving during intermission.

Great musical.

Very entertaining show with fantastic music and fosse choreography .. beautiful theatre too

Only good thing about this show is the orchestra! WAY OVER PRICED, skip this show! Orchestra takes up entire tiny stage, shows takes place on about five feet of stage, both leads are like 65, no costume changes, no props, bland Broadway show...SKIP!

Not exactly what I expected. I’ve been to other Chicago performances and I was a little underwhelmed by this one. It’s a good show but not a “wow, this is Broadway” show. Haven’t been razzle dazzled, if you know what I mean...

Extremely disappointing. The cast are too old (although enthusiastic) to charge over $130USD per ticket. I have seen this show in Melbourne and London and it is sensational, sadly however the Broadway cast were very ordinary. The band were great though, but the singing and dancing was very basic - high school standard. We left at interval, I couldn’t have the NY cast ruin one of my favourite musicals

Excellent show! The theatre is really small, that’s good to watch the show really closed but it’s also bad because the seats are not comfortable.

Great experience, true to the movie (or the movie to the musical). Recommended. Great humor, singing, dancing. All in all not to be missed.

Just as Amazing as the west end version in a very cozy theatre

My daughter and I saw the show and we were disappointed . Shes a dancer and has done production numbers for regional competitions when she was in HS and theyve done percent better performances than this! The orchestra was impressive as the music was on point but the main characters were old and no energy( I thought Velma and Roxy were suppose to be young performers..), AND no costume changes, so the entire cast wore black outfits. The singing and vocals were good, but we really were expecting MORE from the stage presence aspect. Not worth $130 a seat for center orchestra. If I paid $50, I wouldve been satisfied. But for a show on Broadway and in the Big Apple, I expected a better show for the amount I paid.

A really good show, with some great performers. The only downside was a VERY eager staff member. The tall, slim gentleman was running around telling people to be quiet and take off their hats ahead of the performance. He was obviously keen to make sure it wasnt spoiled for others. HOWEVER, this guy couldnt sit still through the performance and kept on standing up to check for any illegal hat wearing :-) Every time he stood up, he blocked our view of the stage and distracted us.

Was excited to see this show but was a bit disappointed. The choreography was off. It was very difficult to understand through the singing. It didnt get engaging until the end of the first act.

A Broadway classic always with a fabulous guest star.

I attend many Broadway shows and my boyfriend and I had an amazing time. The lively show had us in full Broadway spirits and singing after the show. I just wish there were more bathrooms in the theatre. Other than that the five stars are for the show, we had an amazing night.

A classic show but the Broadway version was weak. 1 set almost no costume changes, small cast and the female leads are getting old. Go see something else. Pretty disappointed . The band was great!

Great show in a wonderful old theater.

Awesome show!! Had a great time. Never gets old.

Never has a broadway show disappoint me in a way that Chicago has. Completely boring set, costumes, and props. I was underwhelmed entirely the whole show. I have seen numerous broadway shows around 15-20 shows and never have I left feeling as empty as I did leaving Chicago. Spend the money on any other show!

Had a decent evening in Broadway, watching Chicago. Booked ticket on-line through todays tix. Choreography and Music was fantastic. Tera C. Macleods portrayal of Velma Kelly was brilliant. Tom Hewitts Billy Flynn was also very good. Those visiting NYC and has a liking for theatre, this may be a good choice, just a few steps away from Times Square.

Performance was spectacular!My wife and daughters also had a great time. Met Mama outside and she took pictures with my fam!

Awful. Acting, singing and dancing were all so basic. Seemed amateurish. Technically sound volume of singers was way too low. Stage set was boring. Same costumes throughout. Low energy from performers. I was never so disappointed in a Broadway show. At intermission I heard someone behind me ask out loud, why are so many people sleeping?.

Three words: not worth it. A world-class play but a small-town-nightclub-standard performance. Small theatre for Hobbits with uncomfortably compact seating. Aging cast that lacks energy and passion. No contrast between Velma and Roxie--just two grandma-aged women in their mid-to-late 50s who fight declining stamina and try painstakingly to earn bread. Billy Flynn appears to be anything but that charming, smart, greedy, capable and yet cocky lawyer. Amos is about right. Mary Sunshine is a surprise. What a drag! Overall, this should not be performed on Broadway as we pay $100+ and expect world-class shows. I have enjoyed 3 other shows, but this one is a huge disappointment!

My girlfriend and I had to make a decision about which Broadway Musical to watch while in Manhattan and decided for Chicago. The overall experience was great. Great place, great actors and great performance. I didnt like the story so much though, but thats my personal taste. I think if the story that is told in a musical is important for you, then there are other good options. But when it comes to seeing actors performing together on stage, this musical is a perfect choice.

I really enjoyed it! Dylis, the main cast for Roxie is a great dancer and actress, I could not take my eyes off her the whole time!

When visiting New York we knew we had to watch a musical, Chicago the musical was hats off brilliant, we had seats a couple rows from the stage which was brilliant because when the case were sing and performing it felt like they were just sing to you and no one else was there. The performers where amazing I would different recommended this musical totally love it.

A bit lacking I feel like they could’ve spent more money on the sets especially with the ticket pricing. The movie is just better I expected more wow and jazz but it was just dull.

We were disappointed by the level of the performance. While the band was great, and the singing was decent, the dancing, the acting, the contrast between characters, and the the stage itself just werent at $100 per seat Broadway level. If this had been in Knoxville TN with a small town troupe trying to pull off the show with a $650 budget, it would have been an acceptable Friday night out for $35. This is not a top level production at all, and the material has so much more potential than this. VERY SAD NOTE: The closing number was completely out of sync and full on amateurish. The big finale was a big flop.

They razzle dazzled me! Go on a Monday when no other shows are playing and get your tickets from a TKTS booth. You’re welcome!

Very good show! Not for small children. Hot! A must see.

My friend and I went here because it was one of the last places that still had tickets available. Its a small theater, so technically there arent any bad seats, but I was very squished and had to lean forward and to the side to see past the people in front of me (I am very short). The musical wasnt bad, but I probably wouldnt pay to see it again- I was expecting fewer mistakes in a broadway musical.

Great show, funny. Small theater so if you are over 55 sit in the lower level, more legroom.

To put it bluntly, this show is bad. With that being said, I felt the performers were great. I had no issue with the acting, the dancing or the singing. This is a talented cast. Unfortunately, the talent is wasted on a very poorly written and completely unentertaining show.I went into this with no expectations at all. I happened to find cheap tickets and enjoy live theater so I went. I have never seen the movie and literally didnt even do any research to see what the show is about. I also did not look at any reviews prior.I went in completely cold and a completely open mind, excited to see a live show.But like I said, it is quite bad. The storyline was uninteresting, there was no character development. I felt myself having no feelings toward any of the characters. I did not care about the plots outcome. There was nothing to suck me in. The show felt like a series of random song and dance numbers with a story thrown in there just to give the excuse of having a show.And the best musical numbers were very good at best. Nothing, I would consider to be great. And some numbers were boring and uneventful.Even the finale was just OK. There were better musical numbers in the middle of the show.And that might just be on the choreography. Again, you could definitely see plenty of talent on the stage so I dont think the performers are the issue. Its just overall not a well written show and the choreography could have been better. I was expecting much more grandness I guess. I didnt get it.My girlfriend and I contemplated leaving at intermission but I felt I paid for the ticket so I wanted to see the whole thing through hoping the second half would get better. It did not.As for the theater, it is a fairly intimate theater with only one (very small) bathroom (one for men and one for women) which is located on the mezzanine level. I recommend going to the bathroom before arriving to the theater or arriving early. At intermission, if you need to go, go fast to beat the line. And yes, orchestra ticket holders will need to go upstairs to get to the bathroom.But otherwise, the theater was fine, the acoustics were good. I would see another show at this theater, but not this show.

Must see in NY. Fun, exciting and attractive. 100% recommended

The show was fantastic! Our seats were in a great spot. I had a smile on ny face almost the entire time. This was my first broadway show, and I was not disappointed! The entire cast, especially the lead, did an amazing job. I would see this one again if I ever have the chance

One of my most incredible experiences so far, concerning performing arts! Everything was perfect!

Great show I really enjoyed the performance

Chicago is an American classic and it never fails to impress. It is one of my absolute favorite shows and I was blown away with the performance here. If you are wanting to see a musical in New York, I would highly reccomend coming here because this show is classic and timeless. I think everyone needs to see it at least once!

This was my first broadway musical and it was epic! We’re not allowed to take pictures during the show so the best I could do was this ticket :-)The artists, the music...everything was amazing. I would definitely recommend this as a broadway experience.Overall it’s one of the cheaper options yet we still had to pay $80 for the ticket plus $30 in tax to get a less-than-optimal seat on the side of the theatre on the top floor. That was a bit annoying as the angle prevents you from seeing the entire depth of the stage. Try to aim for seats closer to the center if possible.Oh and if you’d like to have a drink, the options are $15, $25, and $35 for small, medium, and large respectively. And if you’re planning on having another one at the break, you could pre-order it before the show so that you don’t have to wait in line at the break! And if you keep your first cup and bring it with you for a refill (instead of getting a new cup), you’ll get a $5 discount off your second drink

I was not able to enjoy it because I was sitting behind the stairs. I had to bend over to see over the small wall and Im not a short person. The play itself was ok... I expected something better for that price...

We were trying to get the tickets for the show on Boxing Day. We were told the starting ticket price increases from 69 to 108. We have sightseeing passes, and we should get $20 off but she said the discount is down to $10 only. We refused to support a dishonor show.

Great performance. Love it. My husband took me to see it for my birthday. We had a great time.

An excellent show

Amazing! Even me, who doesn’t like musicals, loved it!

The starring actress is really on the edge to perform it. Big singing and dancing differences compared to the other co-star and the rest of the staff. The best was Mamma Morton and the band.

This is a classic and it was amazing except for Christie Brinkkey. She ruined it. She is an amazing and accomplished woman why does she have to try to do something she is not good at. Her singing was aweful. Why would they keep putting her in they certainly dont need her name to sell tickets. So check before you go and if she is in it WAIT its not going anywhere.

An absolutely awesome musical!! Its a must if youre in NYC and theres a great Broadway diner just a couple blocks away that is AMAZING!!

Fabulous show. Way to go to all of the performers

Definitely watch ryokos Roxie Hart before she returns to Japan! Its much better than the Chicago in Chicago, pun intended

Classic broadway musical. Cuba does a night awesome job in his role and the performance was excellent all around. A very enjoyable show.

Loved it! Both performance. Back in the day and revival. Go to see a Broadway show.

The show was amazing!! So much energy and fun.

Interesting way to experience the cultural part of NYC!

Such a great experience!

Generally if they sell out (or come to close to it), the box office sells standing room only (SRO) ticket for $27. Thats what we did, and what a deal! Because the theater is fairly small, the standing spots dont feel far away - I felt I had a great view. Theres a ledge you can lean forward onto which is nice but might make SRO tough if you are less than 5 tall.Show was fun and well done. Great comedic timing and a responsive audience. Theres a reason why this show is as long-running as it is!

A good musical has many elements and Chicago does not dissapoint. Of course, I will leave the plot out of this. They say the longest running musical on Broadway. Live orchestra is first class.Enjoyable for adults due to mature subject matter: cheating, lying and theiving. But hey, its called Chicago so you kinda knew that.

Loved every second of it. Was my dream to see Chicago - the dancing, the singing and the acting - all of it was amazing!

Erika Jayne was awesome in this show!

A masterwork of the American Musical Theatre. Go see the old Glossy Fosse!

I loved the story! Cute little theatre, incredibly long lines for the womens restrooms.

One of the best musicals I ve ever seen!

HORRIBLE. My husband and I got up and left at intermission. As a native New Yorker who has seen many shows both on and off broadway, I am shocked by how terrible this show was and how it has somehow managed to stay on Broadway and take up valuable theater space for years. I wish I thought to read the MANY terrible TripAdvisor reviews before attending.1. Scenery and set design: Dismal. Zero set, aside from the orchestra taking up two thirds of the stage and a couple of ladders andchairs.2. Costuming: what costuming? Trashy spandex and fishnet that look like it was sourced from an 8th Ave smut shop - not a even a shred of any 1920’s attire that made sense.3. Performance: offensively bad. As an Asian-American myself, I was excited to see someone of Asian descent cast in a lead role. However, her nearly-parody-level accent was totally inappropriate for the role and (worse) was nearly unintelligible as a viewer. She had zero charisma or stage presence, in a role that is literally written to require seductiveness and pizzaz.The only part of this show that didn’t make me cringe (as I thought about the money I wasted on tickets) was the voice of the two other leads who played Billy and Mama. However, this not enough to merit calling this a Broadway show.No amount of overpriced drinks could make this better for us, so we just left at intermission. SAVE YOUR MONEY AND GO SEE SOMETHING ELSE. There are so many wonderfully creative Broadway and Off Broadway shows, this is an embarrassment.

Amazing musical, very well put together nice and slick and funny. Good to see the band playing as well
